What is Seed Dispersal and Types? Ecological Services Class 12 Biology

In this article, we will study What is Seed Dispersal? and types of seed Dispersal from Ecological Services Class 12 Biology.
A seed is a part of the plant that bears a baby plant inside it. The hard structure of the seed acts as a protective outer covering for the embryonic/baby plant enclosed in it. The formation of the seed is a part of the process of reproduction in flowering plants.
Seeds grow into new plants, but if the seeds just fall to the ground near the parent plant, then there would be increased demands for sunlight, water, and nutrients within the limited area. As a result, all the seeds, as well as the parent plants, might not get enough sunlight, water or nutrients from the soil. Consequently, this will inhibit the proper growth of the parent plants as well as the seeds from which the baby plant will come out.
Plants cannot walk around to take their seeds to other places so, they have developed other methods so that their seeds are taken away at distant places. The various means that carry the seeds far off places from the parent plants are wind, water, animals, explosion and fire.
Plant regeneration is essential for maintaining forest biodiversity and the functioning of the ecosystem. Therefore, seed dispersal is an essential ecological service.

PURCHASED GOODWILL METHOD UNDER IND AS 103

The acquisition of subsidiaries results in  Goodwill calculation  and also records net assets of the subsidiary at fair value on the date of acquisition. Let’s get answers to all the questions related to Goodwill, valuation of NCI, and impairment relating to them. Q1 – What are the ways in which an entity can make payment for purchase consideration? ANS: – Cash – Share exchange – Deferred payment – Contingent consideration Q2 – How is deferred payment dealt, when it forms part of purchase consideration? ANS:  The deferred payment is discounted to present value and included in the cost of consideration. At the end of each year, the liability is increased by unwinding the discount, until the payment is settled. For example, An amount of Rs. 108,000 was deferred to be paid after 2 years. The discount rate applicable is 8%. The net present value today of Rs. 108,000 is equal to (108,000 * 1) / (1.08) ^2)= Rs. 92,593 included in purchase consideration. A liability of Rs. 92,59...

NCERT 12th Class Physics Ohm’s Law and Resistance

NCERT 12th Class Physics Ohm’s Law and Resistance Ohm’s Law Ohm’s law:   It states that “the current flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to potential difference between the ends of the conductor provided physical conditions like temperature, pressure etc.  remain the same”. i.e.   VαI or V = IR Here V is apotential difference,I is current and R is Resistance of the conductor. Resistance:  It is the ability of a conductor to oppose the flow of electric current . SI unit of resistance is ohm. Factors on which resistance of a conductor depends: Nature of the material of the conductor Length of the conductor ‘ l’ Area of cross-section ‘A’ Temperature ie R ∝ l R ∝ 1/A R= 𝜌 l/A Where 𝜌 is resistivity of the material of the conductor. What to study the same topic in Hindi? click on  Physics in Hindi The resistivity  of thematerial of a conductor: 𝜌=RA/ l If we have A=1m 2  and  l ...
